Recommended Skills:
  • Hands-on experience with IGPs such as OSPF, RIP and EIGRP
  • Fundamental knowledge of BGP
  • CCNA level (or equivalent experience) with Cisco’s IOS is recommended
Recommended Equipment:
  • GNS3 and a Cisco IOS image (12.x or 15.x) which includes the MPLS feature set
  • Live gear, with an IOS image supporting MPLS could be used instead of the GNS3 emulation
Related Certifications:

Related Job Functions:
  • Network Designer
  • Network Engineer

Service providers and large enterprises can use features such as MPLS L3VPNs to tunnel traffic from one site to another, forwarding the traffic over the provider’s core IPv4 network using label switching. This has multiple benefits including flexibility, support for multiple protocols, simplification of the routing tables in the network core and centralized control of the MPLS L3VPNs.
